: There's a rather large hole in this philosophy that you seem to have, and
: that is the fact that the Covenant themselves know next to nothing about
: the flood. Such is to say that Cortana would learn next to nothing from
: High Charity's network. High Charity is just a covenant mobile planet,
: with the exception of the Forerunner relic Truth escapes on, its all
: stolen technology (The ship may very well be stolen as well, who knows.).
: The only place she could get true information about the flood would be the
: Forerunner databases, so perhaps she learned this while on Beta Halo?
: Mayhaps, who knows.

: PS. Good theories Usul!

wait, the covenant know next to nothing about the Flood? they've been fighting them for a damn long time, as i recall. i doubt they know 'next to nothing'.
